‘Super Mario Game of Thrones’ by Nicksplosion FX (Video)

You might not realize it while you’re watching Game of Thrones, but there’s another historical fantasy epic that’s been unfolding for decades on TV sets all over the world: The Super Mario saga. YouTube user Nicksplosion FX has made an explicit connection between the two, re-imagining the Game of Thrones title sequence Nintendo-style.

The Game of Thrones theme song is also given the 8-bit treatment, and its pretty fun to imagine the adventures inside the Mushroom Kingdom being given the kind of weight and drama that the characters on Game of Thrones do – I would definitely watch this show.
